@CEDE: At this point, I'd say that it would be faster for me to just buy the Mac version of GM and release it on Mac that way, so yes, it's a possibility  Tongue

@Windybeard: Thanks! I'm glad that people are liking the wall climbing thing. I just threw it together when I was bored (and somewhat stumped about how to make a never-ending room in GM).

Level design for the caves is complete (other than tiling and making it pretty). The cloud background and foreground is done and you can see it in the last mockup that Herror posted.

Thanks for the support.  Coffee

Please tell me there will be at least one section in the game where you'll walk into a volcano or something and have to walljump past randomly-generated obstacles like this all the way out of the volcano.
Just implement this minigame somewhere into the game, please Beg

I actually thought about that. The ruins section was going to include lava at first, but Herror and I came to the agreement that it didn't really fit the world.

Then when I was playing Super Crate Box, I wanted to make a small game that could theoretically go on forever, and that wall-jumping game is what I came up with. Maybe it'll be an unlockable mini-game or something, but it probably won't be in the main game.

I had issues with backtracking. It didn't make sense for the room to errupt every time that you entered it from the bottom, but then if you came back later and entered through the top, nothing would happen. It just didn't work.

Hope that makes sense! But yes, I'm trying to do SOMETHING with it.  Coffee

It is VERY likely that this will be ported to Flash if people enjoy the game. I've had such an easy transition from GM to Flashpunk. The ability to actually use more object-oriented techniques inspires me to work a lot more as well.

It's really nice to be able to be in the same mindset when I'm coding for school and when I'm coding games and GM didn't really allow for that.

I think I played like the first 3 screens of it a couple of years back. My indie game experience is not as wide as it should be, but I'm seeking to remedy that - I played Celestial Mechanica, Arvoesine, Momodora, and NoituLove2 recently. And I hope to play Puppet Children when it's finished!

I really need to change the title... This game has nothing to do with puppets and it certainly won't just be called Children  Tongue

For those of you who missed it, this started as another game, but the mechanics played better in my head than how they actual felt when I prototyped it. I stripped out the fluff and ended up with the game that you see now.

I'm snowed it with no power. So no code, computer, or game making of any kind for a day or two Sad
